Well then, what do you make of this?

(CBS) BODEGA BAY, Calif. They are deadly, huge and fast moving. Their tentacles can suck the life out of a human being and they've arrived in Northern California. They are giant squid. Nobody knows why, but for three years now fishing boats out of Bodega Bay have been catching the ink spewing fish by the droves.

How sick is this? Bodega Bay is only a few miles from my house! And PZ is so nefarious, so evil, that he started sending those squid here a full year before he had even heard of my blog! Biologists. Sheesh.
